Fighting Fraud and Identity Theft

The Federal Trade Commission reports that identity theft is the number one complaint among consumers. Therefore, you should protect yourself and take steps to shield your identity. Some easy steps you can take to prevent thieves from stealing your financial information include:

Reviewing all credit union statements and other financial statements monthly for discrepancies;

Don’t print your social security number on your checks and don’t carry your social security card in your wallet; and

Never give personal or financial information over the telephone unless you initiated the call or know the caller and know how the information will be used. We will never ask you for personal information via e-mail or the telephone.

Checking your credit report regularly in order to ensure there are no discrepancies. Look for anything that seems out of the ordinary.

Unfortunately, identity theft is a problem that continues to grow. We are dedicated to helping you protect your personal information and will continue to take steps to ensure your identity is protected. Your safety is one of our main priorities.
